Mmm...I've purchased items from Talisman w/o ever having an issue. I have my doubts that they will be available much longer at $199. Can't get them for less anywhere else. >>
I too have purchased few times with no problem. The only thing that I don't like is the way they price their products. Like in this case. Where did they come with the $399 price? And then they brought it down to $199.

Thats a great picture honoluludude.Hope mine looks that good.Will recieve it tomorrow fed ex.Apparently "picked"means that your order has been taken from their stock and the mailing paperwork is being completed.

Mine just switched to "picked" two days ago and I got the shipping confirm today. I think you will be fine, they just seem to be working down the list.
I missed the opportunity so on that same they sold out, I asked if I could be placed on a waiting list (not even knowing if they did such things). I got an email yesterday saying I have one reserved for me. Since this is my first order, free shipping as well. so $97 ish? not bad...

You'll be charged another $10 or less for currency translation. $107 is a great price. I sold mine on eBay for around $230, since I do not collect the series.

I am curious about the 2nd lunar series with the rabbit and tiger etc...Were these also considered HR like the Dragon? If so, I might want to do the whole #2 series..Thanks for any answers or thoughts Regards Kip

I think that the Dragon is the first Lunar coin in HR. The Perth Mint started last year (or in 2010) with the Kangaroo in high relief. I may be wrong. MM

Dragon is the first HR as far as I know.
I was wondering how they were going to address the previous lunars for series 2. Are they going to retroactively release the tiger, rabbit, etc. in HR form?

I don't think they are going to cover the previous lunar coins in HR. The Perth Mint has messed already the series with the regular silver coins. They started the lunar series in gold and added the silver one few years later. There has been an overlapping of a couple of years. The Tiger, for example, is available in both designs.
We will see.

Got mine from the post office yesterday. It was nice. I then traded it the same day as part of a good sized silver deal, including a 4 oz engelhard and three 1oz JM poured bars

I am not familiar with milkspots in general... i have read in our forum here that they develope sometimes in slabbed coins and nobody knows what causes it... What if you keep your silver dragon ungraded/unslabbed will milkspots develop still sometime in the future

It may happen anyway. I have noticed some milk spots on my ASEs, Maples, Philhas even after an acetone bath.
My Dragon arrived today, nice coin but I thought the HR was more impressive.
